Misfolded plant virus proteins: elicitors and targets of ubiquitylation

Abstract: Mutant tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) coat proteins (CPs) with known amino acid replacements provide well defined examples of destabilized tertiary structures. Here we show that misfolded TMV CPs, but not functional wild-type CPs, induce massive ubiquitylation in tobacco cells and that denatured, insoluble CP subunits are the main substrates of ubiquitin conjugation. As TMV CPs can be easily manipulated they are unique tools to study the molecular basis of the plant cell's response to aberrant protein structures a… Show more

“…As the error rate of viral polymerases generates mutations at high frequency, it is not unexpected that misfolded and insoluble viral structural proteins are produced during viral multiplication. It was shown for TMV that such proteins are massively polyubiquitinated (Jockusch and Wiegand, 2003). As functional proteins are not targeted, these ubiquitination events are likely to correspond to a cellular protein response to stress (Sugio et al, 2009) rather than a specific regulatory process.…”

“…The CPR is induced by the accumulation of unstable or misfolded proteins in the cytosol and is associated with the induction of a specific subset of HSP70 genes. For example, virus infection in the cytosol in plant or animal cells triggers the induction of HSPs (Whitham et al, 2003), a process that is exacerbated when the virus-encoded proteins are unstable (Jockusch et al, 2001;Jockusch and Wiegand, 2003). The Arabidopsis genome encodes five soluble cytosolic HSP70s, HSP70 (referred to as HSP70A in this article) and HSP70B, and three constitutively expressed HSPs, HSC70-1, HSC70-2, and HSC70-3.…”
